Parent-Picked-Kid-Approved-logoHere at The Creative Kitchen, we’re all about real food that’s really yummy! Especially when it comes to snacks for our little ones. It can be hard to find that perfect balance of great ingredients AND great taste, but lucky for you, we’ve found just that in a new product from Don’t Go Nuts. Their Mini Chewy Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Granola Bars pack in a lot of flavor into a mini bar – using real ingredients – that’s perfectly sized for little chefs. We love that Don’t Go Nuts’ products are peanut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, certified non-GMO and USDA organic! The Mini Chewy Granola Bars are made with organic oats and organic brown rice crisps, as well as small pieces of organic fruit, giving them a soft, chewy texture that the whole family will love!

We were thrilled to have Don’t Go Nuts as a Goody Bag Sponsor for our Kids Food Festival online Halloween kitchen crafts and cooking class on October 31st!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

This tastes like a cookie!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

I love when I find school-safe snacks that my kids actually enjoy! Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars are peanut-free, tree nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, so I feel safe sending them to school with my kids. The amount of flavor in these tiny bars is just amazing! The combination of dried apples and cinnamon is soooo good, and the flavor from the strawberries are just so bright and fresh. I love that their ingredients are organic and non-GMO, and the small (yet still hearty!) size makes these a perfect addition to lunchtime, or a quick, late afternoon snack to hold you over until dinner. 

 

Flavorful Features:

We love the Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry flavors, but Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars also come in Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip – yum!

 

The Icing on the Cake:

The high-quality ingredients used in these granola bars speak for themselves (once you give them a taste, you’ll see!). We also love that they’re school-safe, free of many of the top allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, and dairy.

 

Time to Eat?!

Don’t Go Nuts’ Mini Chewy Granola Bars’ small size makes them a perfect addition to lunchtime for little chefs, or a mid-morning snack for any parents that need something to hold them over until lunch time.

 

Good to Go?

These granola bars are individually wrapped, and the Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry flavors come together in a multi-pack, so whether you want to add a single one to a lunchbox, or keep a whole box in the car, you’re all set!

 

Mix it Up!

Take a Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bar, stick a food-safe treat stick in the middle, dip it in your favorite yogurt, and freeze for a yummy “popsicle” treat!

Product Review: Mr. Lee’s Noodles https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-mr-lees-noodles/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-mr-lees-noodles/#respond Tue, 18 Aug 2020 18:28:39 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=13491  

Parent-Picked-Kid-Approved-logo

Sometimes, simple is best. Less is more. However you want to phrase it, this rings true for mealtime and snack time around here at The Creative Kitchen. What we fuel our bodies with matters greatly, and when it comes to packaged snacks and meals, we think less is definitely more. Mr. Lee’s Noodles checks all these boxes for us: real ingredients, low in sodium and sugar, with a delicious and vibrant taste! Damien Lee, the creator behind this premium noodle brand, is a full-time single dad and cancer survivor, which is what inspired the creation of Mr. Lee’s Noodles. It was during his time of chemotherapy and a strict, real-food diet that Damien Lee craved his guilty pleasure, instant noodles, but knew he couldn’t indulge as he used to, due to all the artificial ingredients. Once he was given the all-clear, he set out to revolutionize the world of instant noodles, and Mr. Lee’s Noodles was born! 

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

I like these noodles! The different flavors are yummy!

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

As a mom, I know firsthand that you can’t always have it all together, and that’s okay. Whether it’s keeping the house clean or making dinner, sometimes you just need a little help. My first priority when it comes to feeding my kids is keeping their meals and snacks full of (primarily) real ingredients, which can be pretty tricky with frozen or packaged meals. That’s not the case with Mr. Lee’s Noodles, which have quickly become a fan favorite in our household! They use real ingredients, and are low in sugar and sodium. It makes for an easy after-school snack or a quick addition to dinner when I don’t have time to make something from scratch. My kids love the bold flavors, and I love the real ingredients and low amounts of sodium, fat, and sugar. They’re so much better in all of these categories than other instant noodle brands.

 

Flavorful Features:

Mr. Lee’s Noodles instant noodles come in a variety of fun, delicious flavors:

  • Coconut Chicken Curry Rice Noodle Soup
  • Zen Garden Vegetable Rice Miso Noodle Soup (Vegan, registered with the Vegan Society)
  • Hong Kong Street-Style Beef Rice Noodle Soup
  • Tai Chi Chicken Rice Noodle Soup

 

The Icing on the Cake:

Mr. Lee’s Noodles freeze-dries their protein and vegetables to lock in the nutritional goodness. Their rice noodles are grown in Vietnam and are gluten-free too! Mr. Lee’s Noodles products average 1.5g of saturated fat per serving, and 970mg of sodium per cup, which is almost 6 times lower than other instant noodles out there. They’re also SugarWise certified and have the lowest sugar among their competitors, as well as no artificial preservatives or flavors, no hydrogenated oil, and no MSG. Lastly, their packaging contains zero plastic sachets and their cups are made from a 100% recyclable plastic/cardboard composite.

Time to Eat?!

Mr. Lee’s Noodles instant noodles are great for an after-school snack, or a quick and easy dinner when you don’t have time for anything else!

 

Good to Go?

These cups are so easy to throw in the car for a road trip or vacation! All you need is to add boiling water and voilà! A delicious, nutritious snack (or meal!) that’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

 

Mix it Up!

Add some of your favorite veggies to a cup of Mr. Lee’s Noodles to pack in even more flavor and nutrition!

 

Mr. Lee’s Noodles are now available at all Whole Foods in the US!

We’re always on the hunt for delicious AND nutritious snacks that give our body the fuel it needs, while still tasting super yummy. Why sacrifice flavor for nutrition when you can have both?

Their products are baked (not fried), and made from REAL ingredients that are grown on American farms. Eat them right out of the bag, use them to scoop up your favorite dip, or crumble them up to add some crunch and flavor to your favorite recipe!

 

From the Mouth of a Kid:

They’re like crunchy cornbread cookies!

We have a number of snacks and products that I reach for again and again, and always have stocked in my pantry. Farmer’s Pantry Honey Butter Cornrbead Crisps are quickly becoming one of those snacks! My kids LOVE my cornbread recipe (I practically make it once a week), so when I found these at the store, I knew I had to give them a try. They’re just a fun way to get that rich cornbread taste we love so much, but in a different form. I like that they have whole grains and minimal sugar, and I love using these crisps in other recipes of mine, such as pie crusts and breaded chicken!

The Icing on the Cake:

Noosa yogurt is free of GMOs, and sources its milk from dairy farms that keep its cows healthy and happy!

 

Time to Eat?!

Grab a cup of Noosa yogurt for a quick but filling breakfast, or skip the ice cream truck after school and give the kids their favorite Noosa flavor!

 

Good to Go?

Noosa yogurt cups are perfect for the kids’ lunchboxes, or for a quick on-the-go breakfast when you’re short on time.

 

Mix it Up!

Open up your favorite cup of Noosa yogurt, stir until combined, then throw the lid back on and put it in the freezer overnight. The next day, enjoy a “homemade” frozen yogurt; a delectable afternoon treat! 🙂
